James Dorner spent 206 days with the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan in 2009 .

Dorner was among the veterans honoured this week at Beach Grove Golf and Country Club’s second annual Veterans’ Luncheon .

A range of special events are planned in the Windsor-Essex region honouring veterans in the lead-up to Remembrance Day on Monday .

Windsor Classic Chorale will present a concert honouring those who died in the First and Second World Wars.

Most of the 158 Canadian Armed Forces deaths in Afghanistan were the result of IED strikes.

Dorner said he knew five of the people in his company who were killed, including two friends in his platoon.

While he appreciates the recognition for his efforts, it’s the sacrifices of those, like his lost friends, he hopes people will remember.
